TIU received the Champion's Cup at CASE-IN – 2026

The final of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship, one of the key projects of the Russia – the Land of Opportunities platform and the Reliable Shift Foundation, took place in Moscow. Tyumen Industrial University was successfully represented by two teams "Alcor 2.0" and "Supercharged", which won prizes.

The final of the XIV CASE-IN season took place at the University of Science and Technology MISIS. This year's competition was held under the slogan "Technologies of the Future" and brought together the strongest student and youth teams from all over the country.

Alexander Novak, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, noted the importance of the championship. "International Engineering CASE-IN Championship It makes a significant contribution to the training of a new generation of highly qualified specialists for key sectors of the economy and fully meets the goals of the national Cadres project. In close cooperation with the government, business and universities, the project opens up real career opportunities for young people. About 15 thousand students go through the championship every year, and one in three of them later find jobs in fuel and energy companies. Such initiatives not only promote healthy competition among engineering schools in our country, but also act as a powerful driver for the professional growth of young professionals. By solving current production tasks, participants gain valuable practical experience and analytical skills, becoming specialists that Russia urgently needs. For a young engineer, this is really one step from a training case to a workplace in a leading company," commented Alexander Novak.

Students from 70 universities of Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Belarus met in the final of the Student League. 133 youth teams competed for prizes in areas that are similar to the leading sectors of the Russian economy. 

The topics of the cases this season reflected the current challenges of the industry. In the direction of Petrochemistry (partner – SIBUR), the participants had to develop a cluster model of import-substituting production of peroxide initiators based on microfluidic technologies. In the direction of Mining Machinery and Equipment (partner – Norilsk Nickel), the task was focused on ensuring the uninterrupted operation of pumping systems when pumping quarry waters in the extreme climatic conditions of the Far North.

As a result of the intense struggle and defense of projects before an expert jury, the team of the Higher School of Engineering of TIU "Alcor 2.0" took the first place in the field of "Mining machinery and equipment".

The national team of the Technological and Oil and Gas Institutes of TIU "Supercharged" won the third place in the direction of "Petrochemistry". Their project combined microfluidic reactors, digital optimization of synthesis processes, and a modular production cluster architecture, which ensures high scalability and energy efficiency in the production of critical reagents. It is important that the guys keep the brand, because this is their third award in a row.

According to the results of the CASE-IN –2026 championship, Tyumen Industrial University was among the top 12 universities to receive the champion's cup.

A special event of the final was the inclusion of TIU graduate student Dmitry Belov in the Hall of Fame of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship. Dmitry became the first representative of Tyumen Industrial University to be awarded this high honor. The award ceremony took place at the opening ceremony of the season. Dmitry was presented with commemorative paraphernalia by the founder of the championship and the head of the Reliable Shift Foundation Artem Korolev, noting his significant contribution to the development of the student engineering movement, mentoring and support of breakthrough projects.

The finalists shared that the atmosphere of this year's championship was particularly energizing: intensive training, lively discussions with industry experts, and the opportunity to present solutions at a site where real technological solutions for the country's leading companies are being born. For many, this is not just a competition, but a point of growth, a professional community, and the start of a career in engineering.

The results of the TIU CASE-IN – 2026 confirm the high level of engineering training at the university and the ability of our students to solve problems relevant to the real sector of the economy. Ahead is the implementation of developments, new partnerships and preparations for the next season of the championship.
